"Here's what happened: I arrived late, nearly 1:00 a.m., exhausted. I'd prepaid the room, but I had to give a card for a hold. The clerk had trouble with the processing system, it took a while, then he said it was OK. I went to sleep. Then at 3:00 a.m., the phone rang: the clerk, telling me that my card hadn't gone through, I need to fix it in the morning. What an insane thing to do! There were so many other ways for this clerk to solve this problem of his own making, beginning with ignoring it; it wasn't an actual problem. But how could anyone think that calling a guest at 3:00 a.m. is the right answer? Then the next night, from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00, one guest intermittently yelled at another from the hallway. Now THAT was a problem that the clerk needed to solve, but didn't. This is a cheap hotel, and I wouldn't leave a review to complain about cheap-hotel drawbacks--the sickly sweet disinfectant stink, the grimy sandpaper-esque towels, the icky fabrics, the horrible decor, the untenable "breakfast," the questionable cleanliness. That's all what I paid for, I guess. But I also paid for a place to sleep for two nights, both of which were ruined--in fact my whole trip was ruined--by things in control of the staff. This place is HORRIBLE."

"The breakfast was fantastic and the staff was amazing. The only downside was the hot tub temperature. It was lukewarm at best. We tried a few different days in our trip but it was the same every time. "

"Always stay here when in town. Easy parking. Nice owners, clean rooms and a/c works great. Located walking distance from the pier. Great coffee across the street. Super good Thai as well. Awesome breakfast down the way. "

"Clean room with good breakfast menu at Baleen."

"Parking was fine. This property is way more dated than the pictures showed- feels like an old motel. The location is solid, but I'm not sure I'd stay at this spot again. The photos on expedia vs the actual room felt like a real bait and switch. "

"Horrible "

"Beach view was excellent. It was nice waking up by the beach every single day. The owner was very kind and friendly. He offered to help with anything we needed as much as possible. He's very flexible and willing to get you what you needed. I really enjoyed my stay there I would go back. "

"Bed was extremely springy and squeaky."

"Loved our stay! I was skeptical at first traveling so far with 4 kids. However the hotel was clean and spacious. Will definitely be staying again on our next trip out!!"
